One man lost his life, and several more were injured Friday morning after a 15-story crane collapsed in Lower Manhattan. The crane toppled under heavy wind and wintery conditions just after 8:30 AM, crashing upon a row of parked cars and striking at least 2 buildings. The damage spread more than one full city block.

One bystander in a nearby high-rise office, Glenn Zito, was able to catch the scene unfold on camera -- check out his footage below.
